Backlogging. Bleh. It's not just playing games you bought a while back. It's going back and finishing a game that bored you. It's giving a game more than a fair shake. It's playing through all the games you've bought, one by one, fighting to squeeze value from every purchase you've made. It's the sunken costs fallacy in action. You’ve already thrown away money on the Steam Sale. You can't get that money back. However, you can choose how to spend your time. If you play through a mediocre game to completion in order to squeeze value out of your purchase, you’re just throwing good time after bad purchases. You’re doubling up on the loss, adding lost time onto the lost cash. Don’t backlog. You’ve made a TON of bad impulse purchases. We all have. It’s inevitable. Don’t punish yourself by trying to find value in those purchases. That time can be better spent.

Endorph posted:What if you legitimately want to get back to a game but forgot about it? That's not the tedious backlogging that I see people do, with checklists and whining that they've bought too many games and "need" to finish something. That poo poo is like work. You don't need to finish anything, but if you've enjoyed something and got distracted, then why not play it? If you think it'll get better, why not play it? Since you're willing to give it up if it doesn't pay off, it doesn't sound like you're obsessively backlogging.

boom boom boom posted:PC gaming is a lot cheaper than console gaming. You bought that six month old game for 40 bucks, I bought that game and 29 other games I'll never play for 60. 30 games for 60 bucks. Steam sales bitch. I've bought thousands of dollars of games I've never even installed for only a few hundred dollars. Sometimes, I type a few letters to start a search in my Library. Turns out I own games I didn't even know loving existed. Steam Sales man.
